Online fashion retailer Myntra has announced the appointment of Kannan Ganesan as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective December 1, 2025. He will succeed Abhishek Gupta, who is moving on after a seven-year stint with the Flipkart Group, including nearly four years as Myntra’s CFO.
Ganesan joins Myntra from Flipkart, where he served as Vice President – Business Finance, overseeing financial operations across key categories such as Mobiles, Large Electronics, Travel, and Marketing & Monetisation. He played a pivotal role in strengthening Flipkart’s business finance capabilities during a period of rapid expansion.
Before joining Flipkart in 2020, Ganesan spent over a decade with Unilever, holding leadership finance positions across India, Singapore, and the United States. His responsibilities there included financial controls, sales finance, and customer development, giving him extensive experience in managing large-scale consumer businesses.
Myntra said the appointment reflects its focus on financial discipline and long-term growth as it scales its operations in India’s competitive fashion and lifestyle e-commerce market. The company added that Ganesan’s background in consumer goods and e-commerce would support Myntra’s next phase of expansion and profitability.
Industry observers noted that the leadership change comes at a time when online retailers are sharpening their focus on operational efficiency and sustainable growth amid intensifying competition.
Parent company Flipkart Group, majority owned by Walmart Inc., has been bolstering its leadership pipeline, with several internal movements across key business units in recent months.
With Ganesan’s appointment, Myntra aims to reinforce its financial strategy and execution as it deepens its reach into India’s value and premium fashion segments.
